The Microbiome Solution

Meer over het boek

The author of Gutbliss, a leading gastroenterologist, presents a practical program based on the latest research about the microbiome, the trillions of bacteria residing in our gut. Dr. Robynne Chutkan highlights how the typical Western diet and lifestyle are detrimental, starving our microbiome and allowing harmful bacteria to thrive. This imbalance can lead to increased disease risk, obesity, and negative effects on metabolism, hormones, cravings, immunity, and even genetics. What distinguishes this work is Dr. Chutkan's comprehensive three-level program designed to optimize gut bacteria for better health. She discusses the impact of hand sanitizers and antibiotics on our natural defenses, essential prebiotics and probiotics, and shares recipes featuring ingredients that support microbiome health at each rehab level. Additionally, she explores cutting-edge research linking the microbiome to brain health and introduces stool transplants as a potential solution for severely compromised microbiomes. As a prominent gastroenterologist, Dr. Chutkan offers the first practical guide to replenishing our microbiomes, providing valuable insights for those seeking to cultivate a healthy "gut garden" and enhance their overall well-being.
